As noted in #232, it is possible to create
DynResidueParamswith an invalid modulus. If this happens, arithmetic operations will quietly produce invalid results.At the suggestion of @tarcieri, this PR takes steps toward enforcing modulus validity. It has
DynResidueParams::newpanic on an invalid modulus, which keeps its signature intact while safely failing, and deprecates it. It also introducesDynResidueParams::new_checked, which returns aCtOption. It also adds a few simple tests and updates the documentation.At the next breaking release, the checked behavior can move to
DynResidueParams::newif desired.
